What's the earliest time a store should play Xmas Music?
Re: What's the earliest time a store should play Xmas Music?
I like how you added "American" not to qualify "Thanksgiving", but "November".

Well I already qualified Thanksgiving, so I assumed the confusion was with November

Is it just me or is the poll starting to look LIKE a Christmas tree?

...what's the difference between American November and Canadian November?
Now I feel like that's a setup to a terrible joke.

What does that have to do with Christmas music?!
SO CONFUSED
Re: What's the earliest time a store should play Xmas Music?
Being a jazz musician myself I'm always biased toward music with instrumental improvisation of some sort, but still Christmas songs get kind of tiring to me. It's hard to find renditions that aren't a bit tacky. Unfortunately, most stores play pretty cheesy stuff.
A couple of my favorite renditions are:
Miles Davis - We Three Kings: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JfpdGJk5nc
Dexter Gordon - Christmas Song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0C9MFZVNUoI
Sometimes though, I just like to listen to the chord progressions of christmas tunes since many of them aren't too old or have interesting reharmonizations.
For the music nerds, I was entertained by this meta-song, which covers music theory concepts as applied to 'The Christmas Song': http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dF074CL5vjI

Re: What's the earliest time a store should play Xmas Music?
Well, by consensus it's okay now.
One year the store didn't have access to it's usual 'P.A. soundtrack' (which includes a 'xmas channel'), and instead we had a playlist of pretty good 'pop/rock' music from the past half-century...and then this source went into 'Christmas-mode'. It was an even mix between traditional, cliche xmas tunes, and regular music.
It was great...and then they got their original service (or whatever) back at about Dec. 15th or so.
